Vijay Sethupathi Talks About How Difficult It Is To Make Sequel To Films
After the hilarious answer, Vijay Sethupathi talked in length about how difficult it is to conceptualise sequels to successful films. Talking about it, he said, "Making a sequel to a film is too much pressure. When somebody asked for an Andhadhun sequel, before Andhadhun, you don't have an opinion on Andhadhun. Once the film releases, you have an opinion and the standard becomes very high. Then we have to make above that because this time, you come in with so much expectations. We have to satisfy the expectations and it is very difficult. But if director gets that idea, he will come and approach."
